Abstract

Systems and methods for performing automated load and usability testing via an application delivery appliance can include methods where a browser having a unique identifier is detected and a script is injected into the HTML response generated by the page displayed within the browser. The injected script renders the page and the links on the page, and then selects a link within the rendered page. Upon selecting a link, the script then waits for a period of time before calling a function associated with the selected link. In situations where the browser is a control browser, the calling of a function associated with the link is followed by the spawning of one or more slave browsers, where each slave browser further executes the above-listed steps beginning with the execution of the injected script and ending with the calling of the function associated with the selected link.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This U.S. Patent Application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 054,320, filed on May 19, 2008, the disclosure of which is considered part of the disclosure of this application and is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This application relates generally to monitoring a user's experience whilst the user engages with an application. In particular, this application relates to systems and methods for automating a process for performing load and usability testing.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]There exist a number of applications and methods to monitor the load placed on an appliance or web-application. There also exist a number of applications and methods for monitoring the reliability of a particular appliance or web-application. Some of these methods include recording a series of actions or requests issued to a particular application or appliance and then replaying the recorded sequen...
